The Tempting of Tavernake

By Edward Phillips Oppenheim

Release : 1912-01-01

Genre : Mysteries & Thrillers, Books

Kind : ebook

4.5 (0 ratings)
The story starts from the roof of a London boarding house in the neighborhood of Russell Square one of those grim shelters, the refuge of Transatlantic curiosity and British penury. The girl she represented the former race was leaning against the frail palisading, with gloomy expression and eyes set as though in fixed contemplation of the uninspiring panorama. The young man unmistakably, uncompromisingly English stood with his back to the chimney a few feet away, watching his companion. The silence between them was as yet unbroken, had lasted, indeed, since she had stolen away from the shabby drawing room below, where a florid lady with a raucous voice had been shouting a music hall ditty. Close upon her heels, but without speech of any sort, he had followed. They were almost strangers, except for the occasional word or two of greeting which the etiquette of the establishment demanded. Yet she had accepted his espionage without any protest of word or look.
